Napoli Chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis
announced via Twitter that coach Gennaro Gattuso was leaving the
club after Sunday's 1-1 draw with Verona, which saw the Naples
side drop out of the Serie A top four on the last day of the
season and miss out on Champions League qualification.
"Dear Rino, I am happy to have spent almost two seasons with
you," De Laurentiis said.
"I thank you for the work you've done and I wish you success
wherever you go".
Former Porto, Nantes and Portugal manager Sergio Conceicao is
tipped to become the next Napoli coach, sources said Monday.
He has just completed a four-year spell at Porto where he won
two league titles and two national cups.
Conceicao, 46, has beaten ex-Roma coach Luciano Spalletti to the
post and will shortly be announced by De Laurentiis, they said.
